Police: Detroit-area man bites neighbor on mouth
Comments 0 | Recommend 0CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police say a Detroit-area man bit through a neighbor's lips after he picked up a football that accidentally had been tossed onto his lawn by some teenagers.
Daniel Allen is accused of confiscating the football Sunday evening and refusing to return it until a 28-year-old parent walked up to him and asked for the ball.
Clinton Township Detective Capt. Richard Maierle says Allen attacked the man, and "the bite went nearly all the way through his mouth."
The 44-year-old Allen was arraigned Monday on a charge of assault with intent to maim. That's a 10-year felony.
He was being held in the Macomb County jail.
Maierle tells The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens the victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of deep lacerations on the upper and lower lips.
